More subdued, classy, Elvis.

I loved this film. It&apos;s not typical Elvis in the sense that for once he doesn&apos;t play the irreverent gigolo with a woman waiting for him in every bar; his one big dream is to do music in his own nightclub. He&apos;s quite likable and ends up even being noble when he turns the plot (of a soldier engulfed in an bet with his army buddies to &apos;defrost&apos; a gorgeous nightclub dancer) on its side when he falls in love with the stunning Juliet Prowse. This one is similar in tone to VIVA LAS VEGAS because female lead Prowse is an independent woman, and not a typical Elvis groupie. That&apos;s why I like it all the more. She is never, in my opinion, actually &apos;refrigerated;&apos; even when she turns down a pass from Elvis she&apos;s not so much rude as she is firm in her convictions. But what a dancer- with a pair of gams that stretch into next week!! Her introduction in the film (which shows a spinning cardboard cutout in a marquee window turn into the actual Prowse- in a strapless white, shredded dress) is breathtaking!!
